A series of animal films
Introduced by David Attenborough A Safe Polar Bear is a Distant Polar Bear
Every year the Canadian township of Churchill in Northern Manitoba suffers an autumn invasion. An invasion of polar bears.
The reason is simple: Churchill is a seaport on the shores of Hudson Bay and the bears are waiting for the big freeze-up to move out on to the ice. There they will find their natural food; but for a few weeks of the year the Great White Bear forages around the town - and this causes problems.
